vehicles occuped by the dis-
abled. Those vehicles are
then permitted to park in
spaces marked for the handi-
capped.

A spokesman for the Vol-

Blackout
blamed in
45 deaths

NEW DELHI (AP) — A
power failure Friday blacked
out the Qutab Minar tower, a
popular Indian tourist at-
traction, panicking a crowd of
visitors who ran for the exits
in a stampede that killed 45
people and injured 24, the:
United News of India re-
ported.

Many of the victims were
children, the news agency
said. ‘
The 800-year-old tower on
the southern edge of New
Delhi is an architectural
wonder that is 71 metres tall
with 378 steps in an interior
staircase that spirals to the
top.

UNI said Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi visited the in-
jured, including nine child-
ren, at a hospital.

Both houses of Parliament
adjourned because of the
tragedy, the agency said.

The blackout occurred just
before noon when an esti-
mated 300 to 400 people were
climbing about 90 steps to
the first storey of the monu-
ment, UNI said.

It was not immediately
known whether there were
any foreigners involved.

“The lights suddenly went
out,” said J.P. Ghulati, 25, of
nearby Faridabad, who was
climbing the tower with his

wife and one-year-old daugh-
ter.

“There were some school
children behind us and they
also ran down,” the stairs,

Windsor-based Chrysler
Canada Ltd. said it sold

truck sales, however,

Would run again

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime
Minister Trudeau taunted
opposition MPs Friday with
hints he would stay on to
fight another election if they
wanted.

After a question from Pro-
gressive Conservative
George Hees, Trudeau, who
said Thursday he might not
be able to resist a draft torun
again, stood smiling as both
Tories and New Democrats
shouted that his continued
presence would ensure a
Liberal defeat.

“In that case, if the draft is
even coming from the op-
position side, I would say it is
as likely I would stay on after
the next election as that the
honorable member (Hees)
will continue to represent the

a heckling Tory shouted:
“You did during the war.
Trudeau did not serve in the
Second World War.

Hees, a 71-year-old former
Tory cabinet minister under
the late John Diefenbaker,
said if Trudeau decided to
run again, the Tories’
chances of winning the next
election would change “from
good to overwhelming.”

To which Trudeau replied:
“Unfortunately I could not go
on to say it would increase
his odds of being in the next
Conservative cabinet.”

Hees, MP for Northum-
berland in southern Ontario,
was not included in Joe
Clark's cabinet in 1979.

Thursday, Trudeau con-
founded lation he will

Has Bizerre beliefs

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Clair Riley's family say she
was a beautiful, vivacious
only child with a bright
future as a singer until she
met Jay Riley.

Everything changed the
day Riley walked into the
store where 21-year-old Clair
was doing a sales demon-
stration and brought his reli-
gious cult — the Children of
God, also known as the
Family of Love — into her
life, Kaye McArdle said re-
cently in a telephone inter-
view from her home in Mor-
ley, Yorkshire.

“Immediately she was ab-
solutely won over,” said
McArdle, Mrs. Riley’s aunt.
“She just seemed totally be-
sotted with this man. No
matter what he did, she
thought it was right.”

The family is trying to get
Mrs. Riley and her two chil-
dren to return from Van-
couver after they defied a
court order and left England.
They are now staying with
Mr. Riley's parents.

The controversial religious
cult has bizarre sexual beliefs
and was founded in California
during the 1960s.

HOOKERS FOR JESUS

Its literature says mem-
bers believe in prostitution
as a way of gaining converts

and raising money. Female
members are called happy
hookers for Jesus. The cult
also has sold its own pro-
nographic literature, includ-
ing photos of children.

because of the child sex
abuse this cult is alleged to
practise,” the judge said.

son, two months,

Since arriving in Vancou-

“Human bodies, recovered
